The cast is back on... my hand that is! Brandi Glanville wraps her wrist in a protective brace as she jets into LAX with Real Housewives costars

She's been carrying on like normal since breaking her hand last month.

But it looks like Brandi Glanville is now heeding her doctors orders and strapped her hurting appendage into a metal splint while taking a flight from Puerto Rico to Los Angeles on Saturday night with her Real Housewives costars.

The Real Housewives star paired her new accessory with shredded cropped jeans and a simple grey vest top -- no doubt staying simple to bring more attention to her suffering.

The 40-year-old waved her digits at the cameras, exposing a metal and fabric frame strapped closely to her healing limb.

The mother-of-two sustained the fracture after a particularly brutal self-defence class earlier in July.

'Think I broke my hand in self defence class :/ not my week,' she Tweeted on 10 July, confirming the next day that she had broken her pretty digits.

Brandi's recently been spotted on the town sporting only a nude coloured stretch wrap on her paw -- no doubt to impress her new beau, former NFL star Drew Carter.

The hunky 31-year-old former Oakland Raiders wide receiver -- who is nine years Brandi's junior -- has been on at least three dates with the reality star, including a stop last Tuesday at the West Hollywood restaurant.

The hot date comes as her sons with ex-husband Eddie Cibrian -- Jake and Mason -- have left the nest for sleep away summer camp.

'I'm super emotional today, missing my boys like mad,' she wrote.

She is currently in talks for a spin-off Bravo series about her wild dating life and is also busy working on a follow-up to her Drinking and Tweeting book.

Ouch! The reality star posted a close-up of the injury on her Twitter on Thursday
